Ian + Madalyn // Palm Desert Sands Hotel Wedding

These crazy time have re-awoken my appreciation for friends and family and the good times we’ve shared. How amazing is it that for a wedding, all those people come together in one place to celebrate with you! Even though we are all currently staying house bound, we care still connected by technology and memories.

This is a wedding that is dear to me and was so much fun to photograph! Madalyn and I went to CSUF and studied Graphic Design together. Since then, I’ve photographed two of her sisters’ weddings and then it was time for her and Ian!!

Being a designer, Madalyn has such a great eye for design and details of the day. They chose Sands Hotel & Spa in Palm Springs for its funky pink pallet and unique style.

Ian and Madalyn, it was such a privilege to be a part of your wedding weekend! I admire your commitment to each other and your creative, fun-lovin’ spirit! Keep making each other smile!

Ian and Madalyn choose to do a First Look where they had some time together just the two of them before the ceremony.

Ian’s dad is a Whisky Sommelier and lead them in a blending of two whiskies that each represented them and made one barrel of whisky to age well together over time.

Ian’s Grandpa was their ring bearer! How sweet is that?! And then this happened…. 🙂
